After staying in Shanglinyuan for a whole month, I finally want to return to Beijing.
I wish Scarlett was too tired last night, and coupled with the impact of the fire, she still couldn't bring herself to have much energy today.
Yan Xiu's carriage was designed to be pulled by four horses. The carriage was hand-crafted by the most skilled craftsmen in the Qin Dynasty. It was extremely luxurious and luxurious, and could even accommodate more than ten people inside.
However, Zhu Sijia did not get into Yan Xiu's carriage.
There were quite a few influential people in his carriage today who had important matters to discuss with him.
"Your Majesty, the person who set the fire last night has been caught by two dragon guards."
Yan Xing motioned to Eleven to drag him into the carriage.
"Beiliang people?"
Everyone in the carriage was talking a lot.
This is interesting.
Yan Xiu stared at the Beiliang man who was kneeling on the ground and shaking.
The man from Beiliang couldn't speak a word of Chinese. Yan Wei thought he was pretending at first, so he raised his foot and crushed his fingers hard. He screamed in pain but couldn't even utter a word that even half of the Qin people could understand. .
Only then did Yan Wei believe that he was not faking.
Li Woyun's eyes were full of disgust and his brows were knitted into knots: "Prince Xiang, please let me come."
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone remembered that he, the Minister of Honglu Temple, was proficient in various languages.
After Li Woyun had a chatty conversation with the Beiliang man, he leisurely translated it into Qin language and said:
"This matter has nothing to do with me, Da Qin, but is an internal matter within Beiliang. He is a member of Namunashi, the uncle of the king of Beiliang. Namunashi planned this arson incident in order to divert disaster to Daqin. By triggering a struggle between Alehong and Da Qin, he can reap the benefits."
"Is that Munashi the smelly, skinny old man from Beiliang who came this time?" Yan Wei suddenly realized and explained to Yan Xiu, "He is the cousin of the current Beiliang Khan, and he is an important minister of Beiliang like Alhom. , I have long heard that he is eyeing the throne of Beiliang Khan."
Yan Xiu cast his eyes on Yan Xing and Yan Wei without hesitation:
"I heard that the Khan of Beiliang is old and frail, and has reached the end of his strength. Therefore, civil strife is rife throughout Beiliang, and everyone wants to fight for the throne."
Yan Xing immediately knelt down: "The people of Beiliang are unreasonable and unreasonable and have no regard for family and country. The royal family only fights for a small profit, so now there is famine in Beiliang, people are panicked, and the common people are dying in the wilderness."
"Had it not been for this battle and the coming of winter, Beiliang would have bowed its head and begged for peace with Great Qin this time. Our Great Qin is at its peak. If things go on like this, Beiliang will definitely be in the pocket of Great Qin."
Yan Wei was not as nervous as him. He fanned himself and said calmly:
"Even though everyone knows that Beiliang Khan's time is short, and there is no one to use him. But he has Alhom who has raised him with one hand, and he has a heavy army of Beiliang in his hand. He has defeated the surrounding countries and is still loyal to him. No two, enough to compete with Namu Nashi."
After hearing their answers, Yan Xiu was reluctantly satisfied.
"But there is something that I don't understand very well." Yan Wei looked at Yan Xing, "Sixth brother, something happened suddenly last night. I remember that before the eldest sister came to seek help, you had already arrived at the Beiliang camp before us. , and took advantage of the situation to save the emperor’s wife.”
"And the emperor's sister-in-law actually went to the Beiliang camp in the name of sobering up. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
Seeing that something was wrong with Yan Xiu's expression, but Yan Xing still looked like he was walking and sitting upright, Li Woyun was so frightened that he quickly jumped out and explained:
"I understand the meaning of what Prince Xiang said. This matter is really strange. In order to prevent future troubles, we must also investigate the internal affairs of Daqin to prevent ambitious people from joining forces with Beiliang."
"Master Li, what do you mean, the Qin people may have been involved in this arson?
"Yan Xiu's expression was rare and solemn, and he silently repeated in his heart the sentence "The fisherman gets the advantage when the snipe and the clam compete."
There are many forces secretly fighting each other between Beiliang and Daqin. No one can tell who will win in the end and who will be the fisherman.
Never make wedding clothes for others.
"So Mr. Li still hasn't explained clearly what I mean. What I mean is that it is too much of a coincidence that Sixth Brother and the Queen's Wife both appeared at the scene of the fire."
Coincidences happened to Zhu Sijia one after another. How could he not be suspicious?
Yan Xing clenched the fists hidden in his sleeves silently.
How was he going to explain to everyone that he had seen all the hell-like tragedies in the fire? You must know that your brother, the emperor, hates the theory of strange powers and chaos.
"If I say it is purely a coincidence, can seventh brother believe it?" Yan Xing was neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes were firm, and his back was straighter, "How long has it been since then? Seventh brother has to use the most despicable thoughts and methods to guess people's hearts. Not only will he Zhu Meiren and I are ignoring it, and even more so, I am ignoring His Majesty’s face.”
"You are used to being a promiscuous person, so you think everyone is just like you, and you just like to stare at the two ounces of meat under your crotch and chew it over and over again? I am a scholar, and I disdain and dare not use such obscene words in front of His Majesty. Dirty words insult siblings.”
"But from last night to today, you have mentioned this matter again and again. What is your intention? Is it true to pursue the truth, or to alienate the relationship between me and His Majesty, His Majesty and Zhu Meiren!"
Yan Wei was so angry that he was slapped with such a big label: "Yan Yuanzhi, what do you mean? You still have two gentlemen pretending to be gentlemen. I - Ouch! Who dares to assassinate me in front of His Majesty!"
"Yuanzhi is right to scold you! You should be scolded for being an idle and idle monkey! Haven't you been able to cure your garrulousness when you were a child?"
Princess Zhaohua didn't know when she got on the carriage, and she didn't know when she stood behind the two of them. She found the right opportunity to slap Yan Wei's ear. He pinched his ears hard, and Yan Wei stomped his feet in pain.
Here it comes again, here it comes again, the Yan family’s unique love of quarrels and quarrels.
Yan Xiu rubbed his forehead and said sternly: "What kind of decency are you doing? Shut up! Anyone who talks too much will have his title reduced, demoted to a commoner, and exiled to Lingnan."
Then his tone softened a little: "Sister Huang, you speak first."
Zhaohua was originally here to testify for Zhu Sijia, but who would have expected that she would see such a mess as soon as she entered the carriage, complaining in her heart, and her tone was a bit helpless:
"Your Majesty, it was I who invited Beauty Zhu to go out together last night. You should blame me for this matter. You shouldn't let the villains doubt Mei Zhu and King Yi."
"What's more, the first time we discovered the fire, it was Zhu Meiren who calmly commanded us so that we didn't mess up, including the Beiliang barbarian on the ground. It was Zhu Meiren who ignored her own safety and let the two dragon guards run to catch him."
"She was so resolute when she ran into the fire. She didn't look like someone who was greedy for life and afraid of death. If this matter really had something to do with her, why would she perform such a painful trick that could threaten her life?"
Zhaohua cleared his throat: "We are all women, and you guys are discussing her unscrupulously here. I feel really chilled for her! It's better to let that Beiliang girl die in the tent!"
"You men pride yourself on being flesh and blood, so at worst you could have a fierce battle with Alejon to strengthen your vulnerable majesty! Did Scarlett save her just to listen to you scold her?"
